NOTICE OF COMPLETION OLD DUNDAS ROAD SEWAGE PUMPING STATION (HC005) WET WEATHER RELIEF MASTER PLAN AND CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT THE STUDY The City of Hamilton has completed a Master Plan and Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study for the Old Dundas Road Sewage Pumping Station (HC005) to determine the preferred alternative to protect homes in the pumping station catchment area from flooding due to excess flows in the sanitary sewer system during wet weather and snowmelt events. The study was conducted in accordance with the requirements for Master Plan projects (Approach 2) as described in the Municipal Engineers Association's Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (as amended in 2011).
Collectively, implementation of upgrades to both Private and Public Properties, in addition to Inline/Offline Storage along Old Dundas Road, will provide a 100 year level of flood protection against basement flooding for the study area. In the unlikely event of multiple concurrent failures of existing and proposed infrastructure, the implementation of an Emergency Overflow will provide a fail-safe to ensure flooding relief to homeowners in the lower reaches of the catchment. Implementation of the Emergency Overflow will require completion of a Schedule “C” Environmental Study Report to evaluate the impacts of any minimally treated sewage discharges to Ancaster Creek as a result of overflows.
